Hi,
From history it seems that in your nails there might be having fungal infection and now super added with bacterial infection in nail bed.
Go for one antibiotic medicine course for 5 days.
Afterwards go for one oral anti-fungal medicine course.
Apply antibiotic cream after proper cleaning for few days and afterwards apply anti-fungal cream.
Possibilities of having allergic reaction to nail polish or any detergent powders are there.
Ok and take care.
